1. Re: Cannot delete missing photos in LR4.3 ?!
c.frans w Dec 13, 2012 6:55 AM (in response to ivframes)If you've searched for missing files and found them, they are not missing anymore ! But...
If you've found them in LR with ? and they are really missing on your HD you cannot delete them from HD because they are missing.
You can only remove them from Lightroom.

ivframes Dec 13, 2012 7:49 AM (in response to c.frans w)I guess my description wasn't that good, but you said it - I cannot remove them from LR like I used to do before! Nothing happens, no error, warning, nothing.

4. Re: Cannot delete missing photos in LR4.3 ?!
ivframes Dec 13, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to thedigitaldog)Thanks for answering, but that's not the case - I can delete rejected photographs and any other types easily.
Please try this:
1. Find missing photographs
2. Select All
3. Pick "delete photos" from the menu.
4. Nothing will happen!
In all prior LR versions, LR would ask you whether you want to remove the photographs or not. Nothing happens in ver. 4.3!

c.frans w Dec 13, 2012 10:48 AM (in response to ivframes)Indeed. I deleted a photo in Windows Explorer. The file gets a ? , missing.
Then I try to delete, and nothing happens, no dialogue .
You can report this as a bug.

Bob_Peters Dec 13, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to ivframes)The same bug exists for OS X (10.8.2) on my MacBook Pro (retina) when I try to delete the missing image from the catalog. However, if I create a Quick Collection the deletion works from within the collection if I add the missing images to a collection.

ivframes Dec 13, 2012 2:54 PM (in response to Bob_Peters)Whatever it is, it's clearly a bug that shouldn't be there. Because in every LR to date, delete functioned seamlessly.
I opened the bug here:http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/cannot_delete_missing_photos_in_lr4_ 3_bug
I found a workaround until they fix this - you can delete all selected missing photographs if you press ALT DELETE. It does not work with the mouse and the menus.
